AMI
Repository: /idiap/resource/database/amicorpus/
[YOUR_AMI_DIRECTORY] = /idiap/resource/database/amicorpus/
The AMI Meeting Corpus is a multi-modal data set consisting of 100 hours of meeting recordings. For a gentle introduction to the corpus, see the corpus overview in http://groups.inf.ed.ac.uk/ami/corpus/overview.shtml. To access the data, follow the directions given in http://groups.inf.ed.ac.uk/ami/download/.
ARFACE
Repository:
This face database was created by Aleix Martinez and Robert Benavente in the Computer Vision Center (CVC) at the U.A.B. It contains over 4,000 color images corresponding to 126 people's faces (70 men and 56 women). Images feature frontal view faces with different facial expressions, illumination conditions, and occlusions (sun glasses and scarf). The pictures were taken at the CVC under strictly controlled conditions. No restrictions on wear (clothes, glasses, etc.), make-up, hair style, etc. were imposed to participants. Each person participated in two sessions, separated by two weeks (14 days) time. The same pictures were taken in both sessions.
asvspoof
Repository: /idiap/resource/database/ASVspoof/
The database has been used in the first Automatic Speaker Verification Spoofing and Countermeasures Challenge (ASVspoof 2015). Genuine speech is collected from 106 speakers (45 male, 61 female) and with no significant channel or background noise effects. Spoofed speech is generated from the genuine data using a number of different spoofing algorithms, including variations of speech synthesis and voice conversion algorithms. The full dataset is partitioned into three subsets, the first for training, the second for development and the third for evaluation. The database has 5 known attacks (both development and evaluation sets) and 5 unknown attacks (only in evaluation set). The database does not contain any replay attacks, so all attacks are so called logical access attacks.
avspoof
Repository: /idiap/resource/database/AVSpoof/
The AVspoof database provides speech-based spoofing attacks to test both ASV systems and anti-spoofing algorithms. The attacks are created based on audio recordings acquired from 31 male and 13 female participants. The data acquisition process lasted approximately two months, spanned several sessions, which were configured in different environmental conditions and setups. After the collection of the data, replay (with iPhone 3GS, Samsung Galaxy 4, and a laptop), voice conversion (also replayed with laptop and high quality speakers), and speech synthesis (also replayed with laptop and high quality speakers) attacks were generated. Therefore, the database has both so called logical access attacks and presentation attacks.
Banca
Repository:
The BANCA database is a large, realistic and challenging multi-modal database intended for training and testing multi-modal verification systems. The BANCA database was captured in four European languages in two modalities (face and voice). For recording, both high and low quality microphones and cameras were used. The subjects were recorded in three different scenarios, controlled, degraded and adverse over 12 different sessions spanning three months. In total data was collected for 208 people (half men and half women).
CASIA NIR VIS 2

In many of the images and video frames, there are several people visible, but only the ones that are annotated with a bounding box should be taken into consideration. For both model enrolment as well as for probing, images and video frames of one person are combined into so-called Templates.
The database is divided in 10 splits each defining training, enrolment and probe data.
